There’s nothing more satisfying than sleeping in your own bed after a couple of days of little sleep.
Sure, I got limited sleep on the plane trips but it was broken sleep and does anyone really get good sleep while sitting upright in a confined space?
My trip home started on Sunday morning in Santo Domingo which was Sunday evening Perth time. I finally touched down in Perth at around 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon. That was after a two hour flight to Miami, a five hour flight to LA, a fourteen and a half hour flight to Sydney and a four and half hour flight to Perth.
I promise that I’ll update the story as soon as my head gets right. I’ve got a few hundred photos and some great audio which I’ll share with you.
I’m off to the movies right now with my family. It was so good to see them when I stepped off the plane and so good to hold them close.
More soon.

Welcome home Rodney! I know exactly what you mean. Hubby and I love our bed – there’s nothing like it. Even when we’ve stayed at really nice places there’s still nothing like our bed. And no, you can’t sleep properly in a plane, the best you can hope for is a doze here and there that might stretch into a few hours.
Looking forward to seeing the pics!
Three lovely people missed you like crazy in James, Emily & Pauline. I don’t think that Pauline will be letting go of you every again to go away
Welcome home Rodney; it’s good to know you are safely restored to your nest. Cant wait to hear all about it! God bless.
Welcome home!
I agree with you Rodney; after spending 4 weeks going from Motel to Motel, it was good to finally get into my own bed. Look forward to hearing more about your trip.
Praise God you are safe! What a ride it must have been?
Thanks for the welcome home, Kathie.
It’s lovely to get home to what’s familiar. I only hope that my comfortable lifestyle here in Australia doesn’t get in the way of me communicating the great need that exists in other parts of the world.
Zoomz, I’m sure that Pauline will let me go if the need arises. I love being safe at home but if my travels can help highlight the great need in other parts of the world I’ll willingly jump on another plane tomorrow.
Helen, it was an amazing experience. Strangely enough there were a lot of reminders of India. I’m sure you would have felt the same way while travelling through the streets seeing the half finished buildings and the plethora of street traders.
Thanks Peter. It’s so good to be home. We must catch up for a curry sometime so that you can hear a few more stories.
(By the way … are you going to the Swans match on Friday?)
We had some very comfortable beds along the way, Scott, but as you’ve experienced, your own bed is always more comfortable.
Noiz, it was a thrilling and sometimes scary trip. I’m certainly glad that God was watching over us the whole time.
